I feel old when an article explains that a server can generate HTML and the browser renders the HTML and that this can be done quite efficiently for every interaction with a user.

It’s strange to me that one can be a webdev without understanding that you do not need JS for a web app, although it does improve the UI in some areas.

It feels even stranger that the term server-side rendering became a thing, since the server doesn’t render anything, but just generates HTML and sends it over the wire.

And I’m only 39.
